Broken Puzzle
04:27

I tried hard to fill the empty space
drawing pictures in my favorite color grey
I heard of truthful love
as if it was a broken puzzle
hoping that it finds its missing piece
Yes I believe it’s guaranteed
the fractured hopes
Instability
On top of that
All what you see
Is beyond yourself, yet within reach
How could I ever be so mistaken?
I almost lost my faith in everything my life was standing for
Pieces of my long-forgotten dreams
evidently seem to swim against the stream
I heard of truthful love
as if it was a broken puzzle
hoping that it finds its missing piece
Yes I believe it’s guaranteed
the fractured hopes
Instability
On top of that –
Is what you wish
All that’s lost
I tried so hard to find the perfect life
the perfect song, the perfect love, the perfect guidance from above
you won't believe what love is all about
it is a puzzle hoping that it finds it missing piece

Trauerspiel
04:27
|

Die Verwandlung kann beginnen
die Kunst verlangt
sie fordert dich heraus
doch fordert selten den Dank
Ein Trauerspiel verspricht
le grand finale im letzten Akt
des Heldens bitterer Tod
Totgeglaubte leben länger
du wirst schon sehen
mancher Geist ist längst schon tot
und bleibt nicht stehen
der Held verliert an Kraft, an Macht, an Mut
und wenn der Vorhang fällt - das Drama sich auftut
Das Licht erlöscht
der Reiz ist schnell verloren
zurückgeblieben alte Bilder
voller Wut und Zorn
Wer glaubte schon den Narren
der Ruhm verginge nie
die Bühne bürgt so manche Falle
für die Phantasie
Wer weiss schon, was passiert
wenn der Vorhang letztlich schliesst
Applaus und Jubelschreie
sind nicht jedem gleich genug
Wer glaubte schon den Narren...

Starting The Engine

You better start the engine
you better start it now
nothing`s for granted - nothing
offense is the only way out
Now we've made it so far
we've left the fence behind
you neither consider
nor expect the consequences
you set yourself a goal
for which you'd sell your soul
You better start the engine
you better start it now
nothing`s for granted - nothing
offense is the only way out
A hundred feet away
the Promised Land looms close
exhausted by the sacrifice
go ahead and get your prize
conquering the barrier
like david did before
You better start the engine
you better start it now
nothing`s for granted - nothing
offense is the only way out

Le Combat

La maladie s'approche
elle ne cesse plus
c'est un cercle vicieux
un cercle vicieux
Il faut me préparer
à ramasser toutes les forces
dont j'ai besoin pour mener mon combat
Ce n'est pas mon choix
d'être seul dans la masse
je vais lutter pour ma vie
Ce n'est pas mon choix
d'être seul dans la masse
je vais lutter pour mon sens de l'existence
Rassamblé comme une alliance contre
contre tout le monde qui est menacant
nous levons tous les poings au ciel
en préparant notre propre combat
C'est mon défi de mener mon combat
C'est notre charge de lutter pour nos droits
c'est mon défi de mener mon combat
combat! combat! combat!
Ce n'est pas mon choix
d'être seul dans la masse
je vais lutter pour ma vie
Ce n'est pas mon choix
d'être seul dans la masse
je vais lutter pour mon sens de l'existence

Army Of One
04:15

Warfare stays the same
just the people change their face
Dreams of bombs and bullets dominate nights and days
We don’t know any boarders, but we know we belong
To a lifeless army, to an army of one
A haze spreads above our heads
It’s made of dirt and corps and blood
And we are caught within the net
We awake and drop dead
And awful noise of heavy footsteps
Echoes through the night
There will be hell to pay
Utopia dies
I heard the dying bird singing its last tune of hope
But in the midst of morning it lost his harmony
It resembles the crashing sound of a death’s melody
We know that we belong to an army of one
What we hope doesn’t matter
What we wish has no importance at all
We fight a losing battle - please call 1 9 8 4
We’re a lifeless army
We’re an army of one
